Reply... Handstory Icon / Start Tray: I tried copying the icon to Start Folders, and also with me, the 'disappearence' occurred about the time of the XP SP2 Upgrade. In the new security center of the XP SP2 at Contol Panel I have made sure that the Handstory program is given access. Also now, as you mentioned, I went to > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance - and set the minimum start up of Virtual Memory to the lowest allowed which is 2M. I had previously had it set to about 30M and higher, which apparently was stopping or slowing loading at start up to first produce the memory - and as you said was denying the program by memory allocation rules. I did that as a short fix to an actual Memory Upgrade which is recommended from factory 256 to 512 ( a hundred dollar memory stick added to the Computer ). I am sure the Virtual Memory is tapped into when the ROM becomes low, which processes the operating system as opposed to files and photos memory which goes up to 2 Gigs and higher. After upgrading to Norton 2005 - the Handstory Program is now working fine again. Doing some homework with things like "system exe" and anything for Start Up or 'system tray' - I really found no information helpful. I think you are correct though that the start up memory used must be set correctly, and it seems to correct itself.
